Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Orthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR) is a common and undesirable consequence of orthodontic treatment. Traditionally, studies employ manual methods to conduct 3-dimensional quantitative analysis of OIRR via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), which is often subjective and time-consuming. With advancements in computer technology, deep learning-based approaches have gained traction in medical image processing. This study presents a deep learning-based model for the fully automatic extraction of root volume information and the localization of root resorption from CBCT images.
